Criteria

Honors Cohort of 2022 at Honors Orientation

Don’t be reduced to numbers!

While we will automatically review your application if you score 1260 on the SAT or 26 on the ACT, we recognize that many smart, talented, and promising people do not always test well. So, we’re very interested in receiving applications from any promising senior who has done well in challenging courses throughout high school.

Expectations of Honors students

Honors Scholars are held to the highest standards of academic integrity and moral honesty during their time at Emory & Henry and beyond. All Honors Program Scholars must maintain a 3.5 GPA, an active research agenda, and engagement in community service.
